No space for dishwasher in kitchen, and gas dryer

The "no dishwasher" issue has been discussed here before, so this question is more about the dryer. I know that tenants prefer electric appliances because then they get one bill (and one deposit). I assume most of them have electric dryers. Would it be worth it to just buy a gas dryer and keep it in the house permanently in this situation in order to entice people to rent? (I am concerned that having no dishwasher + having to buy a gas dryer could be a big turn off to people)

The gas dryers are more expensive to purchase in the first place, and aren't even in stock so a few days of extra lead time is needed to buy (assuming you buy new - I did that for the house I live in).

Why can't you just have a 220V/240V line run into the area where the dryer would sit, so that an electric dryer could be used?
